Grace Bonney in Manchester!

On Wednesday, November 16, queen of design blogging and all things DIY, Grace Bonney, will be in Richmond's very own Manchester at the Plant Zero Cafe. Founder of the amazing Design*Sponge blog, Grace will be hosting a morning of DIY and home design know-how with other local Richmond designers.


Virginia native Grace Bonney started Design*Sponge in 2004

There will be a choice of four seminars {Design Process, DIY Redos, Working with Color, & Holiday Floral Design} and then Grace will give a talk over lunch and a book signing! Tickets for lunch, two seminars, and Grace's speech are $27 and tickets for the lunch and book signing without the seminars are $17. Purchase your tickets here. Net proceeds will benefit the School of Richmond Ballet’s need-based scholarship fund.

I have to say, my heart shrank about 15 sizes when I realized I was going to be out of town at a conference for work on this day. Hopefully some of you can make it to this awesome event and report back! Thanks again to social media guru Christine Pizzo for the tip on Grace's Richmond appearance!
